"COMPLETE"!! Meaning from start to finish taking into consideration that a chinese cap may take longer to get the file to sew out nice since it's a cheaper quality fabric. 1) If you charge the same amount for the job that you could make doing other work, then that's a fair price for YOU to charge. 2) If you don't have any other work currently and are sitting around waiting for work.... charge the highest amount he's willing to pay. 3) If you really don't want the work (say you're too busy or he's simply arrogant), then over price it big time and he'll either go away or pay your price and you'll gladly do the job for the extra profit. What you don't want to do is tell this customer your current situation. If he knows you need the work, then he'll fight you for a cheap price. If he finds someone else, that just means he's bogging down your competition with cheap work which could potentially send other beneficial work to your door. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
